Do you take into account how many people have actually been put to death? That it's not that large a number and we wouldn't need to build entire prisons to keep them? Texas, the biggest DP state has put to death maybe 30 persons under 18 since 1977 when the DP was reinstated w/in the U.S. And perhaps if you wanna talk costs and policy, we should rethink funding and victimless crimes. Laws that put away persons who buy drugs and think about legalizing prostitution..."crimes" which actually hurt no one. If money is such a big deal, why did we expend so much money before this year on sting operations to put away "dangerous" homosexuals? There are alot of problems w/the system and where the money goes. Housing violent offenders and fears of releasing them wouldn't happen if there weren't so many stupid prosecutions where DAs only search for harsh penalties for crap that doesn't really harm anyone b/c they want to get their name in the paper so they can continue to pursue their political careers.
